GMCC and a group of local volunteers are working with Changeworks and Home Energy Scotland on a project which aims to help residents of rural areas access practical assitance and advice around heating your home. Not only will we be creating a ‘Meet the Experts’ event in Garvald Vllage Hall on Saturday 3rd February, we will also be sharing information on a variety of these topics over the coming month, through this site and the Facebook channels.

Heating and hot water

On average, heating and hot water account for 80% of the energy used in a household. So upgrading your boiler or storage heaters can make a big difference on your energy bills and comfort (especially if they are over 10 years old). You can find out more about the latest funding schemes available by calling Home Energy Scotland for free on 0808 808 2282.

Funding for heating upgrades

If you are an owner-occupier, there might be funding available to upgrade or replace your heating system. You can find out more about the latest funding schemes available by calling Home Energy Scotland for free on 0808 808 2282.

Advisors will be available at our event in Garvald Village Hall on Saturday 3rd February
